Friendship Motor Inn

Bad neighborhood, but the Motel is clean and safe. I don’t really care about the quality of the carpet or tile, or how new the sink design is in the bathroom. I care about CLEAN and the motel prides itself on cleanliness. The owner is very friendly and invests in his employees to make sure each guest is provided with excellent customer service. From what I can see on other reviews, it seems the loud troublemakers don’t receive the same quality of service, but for those of us who want to rent a room to sleep… I am very happy with the Friendship Motor Inn and would stay there again if in the area.

I love it here, came for my birthday from my beloved boyfriend and we enjoyed a flawless stay. The owner actually lives on sight so he is able to assist and do his best as needed.
We were actually openly greeted on our way out from the hotel 1 morning after receiving a call for last minute breakfast. Of course, we failed to answer the phone on time but he asked us if we wanted any tea or coffee before we headed out for the day. We just asked our towels and sheets get changed. Came back a few hours later to a clean refreshed room and all our belongings untouched and safe.
Definitely worth the money as it is cheapest than most other hotels in the area, looks sketchy on the exterior but you will not be disappointed!

Came to drop off a friend and the guy kicked us out even though we didn’t enter the room and were just dropping off their luggages. And made our friends leave. Worst place ever.

I have to admit, I was really scared about my booking. I could not believe the price compared to everything else in the area. We were gratefully surprised when it turned out to be a very nice stay. Extremely clean, roomy. Not luxurious but nice. Large TV, refrigerator and micro. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, shampoo, etc. Breakfast was simple and you have to take it back to your room. juice and a coffee machine that must make 20 different varieties. Cereal, milk, toast, poptarts. Again, nothing special but sufficient and at half the price of most the hotels in the area. It is at the edge of Koreatown and lots of places nearby to eat, although parking can be difficult to find. Parking at the hotel was an enclosed courtyard and we felt perfectly safe. We will for sure, stay here again if we are in need of something in the area.

Amazing service at this adorable little place! The staff is the friendliest I’ve ever encountered with their free breakfast and amenities in the room, including free HBO movie channels and many towels and incidentals. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ will be staying here again if I’m in the area.

DON’T book this inn! This hotel is the worst ever in my life!!! I totally don’t understand why it has 4.5 stars in the Unilocal!!!Are they hire any rating helper?
We booked 2beds room, but when we checked in they only have one bed room. And we asked for the change of the room. but the staff’s attitude was EXTREMELY BAD!!! He asked us to leave because they didn’t have the room now, and he told me they would still charge me for the full price!
Btw, the room is really bad condition with a regular home key and non-​sercurity lock!
Again! DON’T book this inn or you will have a nightmare in your life!!!

And I’m back again!
So let me tell you what’s new
— A Juice machine at reception
–More breakfast options (toaster and bread, lovely spreads to go along with all the regular pastries, muffins, cereals and fruit)
–A bright and clear new sign to help find the place.
— revamped rooms with added work space and comfortable chairs
As always I was taken care of in the most friendliest way possible, I had no reservation this time but I was told on my previous visit that there’s always a spare room available for walk-​ups and I nabbed it for 9 nights! It’s a bigger corner room but I got it at a discounted rate.
The Friendship Motor inn couldn’t be more well named.
You’ll keep coming back, just like me.

Found this place at the last minute
And we love it very clean friendly people we will be coming back to stay.
Free coffee ²⁴⁄₇ breakfast in the morning.
And close to everything!
Their Customer service is very welcoming.
See you soon

The staff is very friendly and make you feel welcome and like at home. the room is a bit tiny but it has enough space for two people and the bath, too. the wifi is a little slow though, but there’s free parking

Nice and cozy place. The rooms were laid out nicely and you get what you pay for really. The customer service was extremely nice and super helpful! The guy at the front desk always made sure we were doing okay and got everything that we needed. We slept good throughout the night. There was even complimentary breakfast in the morning! Nothing special, just muffins and cereal and little things but it was still nice. I was a little bit nervous because of the area it was in, but I ended up being completely mind-​blown at how much I enjoyed staying here. I would definitely come back here if I was ever in the area, super good service and place for a reasonable price!

We were looking for an affordable place to stay not to far from west Hollywood and Friendship Motor Inn came across our way via booking. The location is real good, staff was very friendly and our room was very clean. Check-​out not very early and you can get a breakfast (simple but very efficient). Definitely a good spot for those seeking budget value accommodation!

A nice, well-​appointed motel. The staff is friendly and they offer free beverages in the lobby. Complimentary continental breakfast that is quite nice. The rooms, although dated, are immaculate. The entire room is spotless. It is on a busy street, but you cannot hear anything once you close the door. The parking is free and abundant.

Bottom Line: What is a place as nice as this doing in the middle of Crenshaw? Finding it was a pleasant little surprise for sure
My wife and I stayed here the other night and we really enjoyed it. The rooms are clean and well appointed and for $ 90 a night — it’s perfect. Pulling into the driveway you would never know you were in the middle of Los Angeles.
We needed a room that would accommodate our crib so the gentleman behind the counter — who I can only imagine was the owner or manager of the facility — came out and showed us a room he suggested which was perfect and we booked it. He was very friendly, helpful, and funny.
We really liked this place — why cant more places be like this?
thanks guys!

Clean, comfortable rooms and fair price. Super nice staff, who gave us nice kaffee and delicious bread in the early morning at 5. Will come back again.

Being a student, I am always trying to find the best deal. I found this hotel on
and decided to book it after reading the good reviews. I had a three day test to take in Beverly Hills, so this was the closest affordable place I found. It was about $ 90/​night (compared to the hotels in Beverly Hills that were $ 200−300/night) and took about 10 minutes for me to drive to the hotel. When I first checked in, the manager (owner?) was very friendly. Instead of a card, I was given a key to the room. The first room I went into had a broken deadlock, so I asked him for a different room, which he gladly did. The manager is really into security, so you have to get a different code every morning to connect to the free wi-​fi.
The room has absolutely no frills and is just a place for you to rest your head at the end of the day. There was never an issue with parking, and I felt safe in the area. I would wake up every morning at 7, and he was always awake handing me a bottle of orange juice as soon as I walked into the office. There were also packaged muffins and danishes for me to munch on every morning. If you do choose to stay here, please don’t expect a 5 star experience. It is what it is — a place to go to sleep and get peace and quiet. It’s located near K-​town, so there are plenty of good places to eat within 5 minute driving distance.
